Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the CR 087473 primary brake shoe fit?
A: The CR 087473 is the OEM primary brake shoe for Crown RD Series Reach Trucks. This brake shoe is used in drum brake assemblies on pallet jacks, walkie trucks, and electric lift trucks in the RD model line.
Q: What is the friction material on the CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: The CR 087473 features an asbestos-free bonded friction lining bonded to a high-tensile steel backing. The friction material composition meets Crown OEM specifications for hydraulic drum brake systems.
Q: Is the CR 087473 interchangeable with other part numbers?
A: The CR 087473 is equivalent to CR 087473NA and interchanges with Total Source 087473. Verify that alternate part numbers are for the same brake system type and load rating before substitution.
Q: What is the service life of a CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: Brake shoe life depends on truck load cycles, operator technique, and brake system maintenance. Inspect shoes periodically for friction material thickness and bonding integrity. Replace when lining thickness approaches minimum or bonding fails.
Q: How do I know when to replace the CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: Replace the CR 087473 if brake response is sluggish, if you observe metal-to-metal contact between shoe and drum, if friction lining is visibly worn unevenly, or if the lining has bonding separation or delamination.
Q: Does the CR 087473 come as a paired set?
A: Verify whether you need both primary and secondary shoes for your brake assembly. Most drum brake systems require matching primary CR 087473 and secondary CR 087478 shoes. Consult your Crown service manual for your specific model.
